Celtic Affairs Pipe Band Supplies 2026

I’m proud to officially announce the launch of Celtic Affairs Pipe Band Supplies, based here in Melbourne, Australia.

After more than 25 years immersed in pipe bands and bagpiping, this business is the natural next step in a journey that has shaped both my life and my sound. From my early days learning the pipes, through years of playing, teaching, competing, and supporting bands, I’ve gained a deep understanding of what pipers and drummers truly need—both on and off the field.

Pipe bands are built on tradition, discipline, and attention to detail. Over the years, I’ve seen firsthand how the right equipment, correctly set up and properly maintained, can make an enormous difference to performance, confidence, and enjoyment. I’ve also seen how confusing it can be to choose the right gear without clear, honest advice from someone who understands the realities of band life.

That’s where Celtic Affairs comes in.

This business isn’t just about supplying products—it’s about offering personalised, knowledgeable advice based on real experience. Every recommendation I make is informed by years of teaching, tuning, maintaining instruments, and working closely with pipers and drummers of all levels. Whether you’re a beginner starting your piping journey, a band upgrading equipment, or an experienced player chasing consistency and reliability, I’m here to help you make informed choices.

At Celtic Affairs Pipe Band Supplies, the focus is on:

• Quality, reliable equipment

• Practical advice tailored to the individual or band

• Honest recommendations based on what actually works

• Supporting players, not just selling products

Because I’ve spent decades teaching and performing, I understand that no two players are the same. What works for one band or piper may not work for another. That’s why I take the time to listen, ask the right questions, and offer solutions that suit your needs, goals, and level of experience.

Taking ownership and re-launching this business in Melbourne is something I’m especially proud of. Australia has a strong and passionate pipe band community, and I’m excited to contribute to it by supporting players and bands with dependable supplies and trusted guidance.

Celtic Affairs Pipe Band Supplies is built on experience, respect for tradition, and a genuine desire to help others succeed in piping and drumming. I look forward to working with bands, teachers, students, and solo players alike—and to being a reliable part of your musical journey.

If you’re looking for advice, recommendations, or quality pipe band supplies, I’d be delighted to help.
